Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 682:

Allison’s breaths grew shallow as she struggled to stay silent, her focus entirely locked on Verruckt’s back. She was desperately plotting the quickest way to escape when, to her surprise, Verruckt casually peeled off his black shirt. In the dim, flickering light, the shape of his muscular back came into sharp relief.

Verruckt was a vision of raw power — broad shoulders, a lean waist, and a body chiseled with muscle that seemed to ripple with every subtle movement. Unlike Kellan, who carried an air of detached reserve, Verruckt exuded an aura of lethal unpredictability, like a predator ready to pounce at any second. He was truly someone who danced on the razor’s edge between life and death, every inch of him radiating danger.

As he changed clothes, his phone buzzed, and he answered the call.

“What’s the status on the investigation into that incident on the deserted island in Ontdale?”
